The legend of rahi

This week we have been learning about fact and opinion. I read a story the was a long time ago it's called The legend of rahi.

The story was about Rahi trying to save his wife from the patuapara. In the story the game Ki o rahi was made by rahi and his village.

Fact is something that was known or has happened. Opinion is what you think. For example My opinion is that Naki is cooler than me.
 

Maths

I learnt to use different strategies to solve equations using all four operations/multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. A strategy is a plan to complete a task.

Some of our equations: 

Our first equation was 84 - 7. We used four different strategies to solve this equation. One of our strategy was the number line. We first started off at 77 then added 3 to get to a tidy number which was 80. The added 4 to get to 84.

Our second equation was 1.5 - 0.885. We used three different strategies. One of our strategy was the written algorithm. We first started by adding 0.885 + 0.005 = 0.890. Then 0.890 + 0.010 = 1.0. Lastly I added 1.0 + 0.5 = 1.5. 

Swimming

This week for kiwi sport It was our first session of swimming. My teacher for swimming is Shanti. I learnt different skills at the laogen pool.

First I practiced how to entey the pool safly.

Next I practiced how to stream line. I also learnt how to breath using the stream line.

Writing

The learning was about synonyms, adverbs, verbs, nouns, and adjectives. Synonyms are words that is almost the same meaning. For example warm, hot, and heat are synonyms.

Adverbs are words that describe the way that something happens.  For example, often, finally, and quickly are adverbs.

Verbs are words that are doing word also as a action. For example say, get and go are verbs. 

Nouns are words that are name, person, animal, place, and thing or idea. For example,  man, woman, and child are nouns.

Adjectives are describing words. For example, warm, cold, and big are adjectives.

This hleps me because I know about them when I read a book or some one ask me a question.
